It’s not just woke ideologies infecting college campuses these days. Here’s a roundup of news stories of violent, fraudulent and just plain stupid things that college professors are doing.
Professors gone wild!
A friend who, like many GOUSA members and followers has spent a lot of time in academics, told me that there are two kinds of professors on college faculties today: one type consists of faculty that are truly insane. The other type are faculty that merely act like they are insane to keep their jobs.
Without trying to separate the flotsam from the jetsam, here’s a quick roundup of some of the crazier items in just the month of May concerning those highly credentialed individuals that are molding young minds (snicker, snicker).
Hunter College (New York) professor threatens reporter with machete. Amazingly she was fired for threatening to decapitate the reporter. In higher ed, it’s OK to have lost your mind, but chopping off someone else’s head is still a no-no (at least for now).
Michigan State University professor sued for forcing students to fund “progressive’ group. According to the plaintiffs “Wisner allegedly forced her roughly 600 students to pay a $99 membership fee to “The Rebellion Community” as part of her class requirements during the spring 2023 semester. Barbieri and Radomski soon discovered that Wisner was the creator and controller of The Rebellion Community and alleged she used the estimated $60,000 collected from them and their peers to fund groups like Planned Parenthood that go against their anti-abortion beliefs, according to the 88-page complaint filed last week.” Donations still being accepted to the Human Fund.
Northern Idaho College professor assaults college board member. “According to NIC, the assistant professor, Zackary Shallbetter reportedly went to Banducci’s office, walked past reception and verbally threatened him. That’s before he then reportedly threw a bucket of liquid over Banducci, his desk, computer and other office equipment.”
University of Michigan professor claims boycott of target is ‘literal terrorism’. None of the 3,000 dead Americans on 9/11 could be reached for comment.
Stanford University professor claims aliens live on earth. Call the men in Black. We’’ll accept that maybe visitors from other worlds inhabit faculty lounges, but aliens (from space) in society large, no. Well maybe Cambridge.
And here’s one that show that it’s not just professors at American universities that are nuts:
Delhi University professor arrested for impersonating Indian state Lieutenant Governor. “According to the officials, Singh had called the Vice Chancellor of the IP University twice over the landline phone impersonating the LG. In the first instance, Singh got his leave sanctioned and in the second instance on September 30, 2022, he tried to get his sister appointed as faculty in the English Department of the GGSIPU.”
